JAXB mapping of complexType

Question

Howdy.
I'm working with a schema that defines a record element with fields child elements, for example:
     <xs:element name="record">
          <xs:complexType>
               <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element ref="userid"/>
                    <xs:element ref="name"/>
                    <xs:element ref="address"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
I expect this sequences to map to a List type that I can retrieve from the container fields element and be able to iterate through a list of objects. But after compiling the schema I can only access them directly, and not through an ordered list. An ordered list is important for me to validate.
How can I generate a list out of this schema, or modify the schema if necessary?
Thanks.

Answer 1

if you want to return a list, you must define attribute "maxOccurs" for this tag
for example :
<xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="Task" type="TaskType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
          </xs:sequence>
<xs:complexType name="TaskType">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="QueryCondition" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
               <xs:element name="QueryStatement" type="xs:string"/>
               <xs:element name="MetadataFile" type="xs:string"/>
               <xs:element name="DataHeaderFile" type="xs:string"/>
          </xs:sequence>
          <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
     </xs:complexType>
After binding, you can get list of "Task"
